  1. Walking To New Orleans — Fats Domino
  2. What good does it do you to be famous when you're dead? I guess that's why Elvis Presley faked his death, gained a lot of weight, went bald, got unrecognizable, and enjoyed his money. BTW, did you ever see the cult film Bubba Ho-Tep? It's an absurd and stupid little comedy, but it's pretty funny. From Wiki: Bubba Ho-Tep is a 2002 American comedy horror film written, co-produced and directed by Don Coscarelli. It stars Bruce Campbell as Sebastian Haff, a man residing in a nursing home who claims to be the real Elvis Presley. The film also stars Ossie Davis as Jack, a black man who claims to be John F. Kennedy, explaining that he was patched up after the assassination, dyed black, and abandoned.
  3. Thinking about this. It's very dangerous. If the Supreme Court decides any president doesn't have to obey the law, and has complete immunity, it'll turn the USA into the biggest, baddest, Banana Republic on the planet. Then, the president could send all his/her political opponents to the 'salt mines'.
  4. Night Train — Viscounts (Of all the songs I've learned on the sax, this is the one that has been requested the most. It's faded from the request pool now, but in past decades I'd get a request to do this a few times per night. Originally done by Jimmy 'Night Train' Forrest, but this is the version I played.)
  5. Going To A Go Go — Smokey Robinson And The Miracles
  6. This is not meant as a left or right political statement, sometimes my brain just goes to weird places… If the Supreme Court decides that Mr. Trump has total presidential immunity for anything he did or could do, then Mr. Biden can have Mr. Trump killed.
  7. The shovel was a ground-breaking invention.
  8. Dare To Be Stupid - Weird Al Yankovic
  9. We may need to invent Artificial, Synthetic Stupidity, or A.S.S., for short. Notes ♫
  10. But the way she expressed herself made her a fortune. That's why tone doesn't matter, if you can express yourself in a way that touches the audience.
  11. The piano cost less to maintain.
  12. Get Off My Cloud — Rolling Stones
  13. Again — Mark Murphy I like this version of the old standard
  14. You could be right, but I think the population may have room to exist, but not enough resources like fresh water, and that seeds violence. And yes, there is more to it than that.
  15. Too true. Before mp3s were cassettes, 45s, and 78s. I've always thought it's more about expression than tone. We musicians chase tone like it is the most important thing. If it was, Doctor John, Stevie Nicks, John Lennon, Blossom Dearie, Leon Redbone and scores of others would have never been stars. Instead we should be working on our technique and expressiveness (although buying better tone is easier). Now I return you to our regularly scheduled foolishness with a stupid pun... ... ... ... ... Tequila may not fix your life, but it's worth a shot.
